Description: When planning policy strategies, industry decision makers and policy makers must understand where policy ideas come from, how they are shared within and across government entities and how they change. This course provides an introduction to policy change, innovation and diffusion. We will discuss and apply four specific frameworks/approaches: the policy diffusion framework, punctuated equilibrium, advocacy coalitions and the policy network approach. At the end of the semester, we will have shed some light into the "black box" of the policy process which will allow you to have a deeper understanding of how policy is made.
